Brian is a brilliant attorney and considered to be a cut above the rest. His compassion, knowledge and experience exceeded my expectations and he handled my case swiftly and professionally. The safety and security of my child was at high risk; however, Brian was so experienced in his field and sympathetic to all of the emotions that accompany such a case, that I felt relieved and confident once it was in his hands. Billable hours are not how Brian operates; he minimizes conflict and seeks a fast resolution. He is the best in his field and can achieve results beyond expectation!

Mr. Cabrey is by far, one of the most knowledgable lawyers I have ever known. I had hired 4 previous attorneys, who had "claimed" they could handle my case(s), yet each one of them did Absolutely NOTHING but take my $$ and lose my case(s). I was Very lucky to find Mr. Cabrey....I am SO Relieved and Grateful for his knowledge, expertise, professionalism, patience and understanding. I would HIGHLY recommend Mr. Cabrey...just wish I had found him years ago!

I will be forever grateful to Brian Cabrey for his representation when my grandson's future hung in the balance.

I have the highest regard for Brian Cabrey. His knowledge and legal skills are combined with a genuine caring for his clients. In this case, a legal decision had to be made as to what living arrangements would be best for a preschool child and his future. When the child involved in such a case is your grandson, you need an attorney who can guide you, explore all the facts, and skillfully prepare and present the case to the court, while keeping an emotional situation as calm as possible.
I found Mr. Cabrey to be not only of the highest quality as an attorney, but also a person who cares a great deal about the welfare of children.
I would highly recommend him.
